They are disproportionately receiving welfare, accounting for nearly two thirds

They also make up the majority of the unemployed

And don’t get me started on crime stats!
They are so bad it’s virtually a hate crime to talk about them in that context.

I am one of “them” and have been working and paying my taxes just fine. Your articles seem to refer to this “migration background”, which sounds like a convenient way to lie with statistics. It seems to also account for people who were born in Germany and had parents from abroad.
From the experience of my peers who are also migrants, they struggle to get jobs due to companies setting unrealistic german language standards, often on purpose, to avoid actually hiring them. The xenophobia is silent, but it is there.
Scapegoating your countries problems on immigrants while it relies on them to function is a stupid idea.

You’re obviously in a different category than the mass migrants. I can say this because I know white collar workers who don’t speak English as good as you who have advanced degrees.
The problem isn’t college graduates…
It’s the boat migrants. The rape and drug gangs. The freeloaders. They’re everywhere and have a corrosive influence, and they’re unsustainable.
The fact that some companies are forced to advertise to foreigners and yank away jobs due to requirements is background noise.
Nobody wants the boat people. And liberals who are honest with themselves are capable of admitting that.
Butlet me guess…
The response will be
“BUT I KNOW A GOOD ONE!”

Notice that the statistics you quoted in the news articles do not specifically filter for these “boat people” you speak of.
I also would like to bring to your attention that saying “most crimes are committed by ‘boat people’” is not the same as “‘most boat people’ commit crimes”. For example, even if 100% of all crimes in germany were committed by them, it could still mean that it is done so by 1% of them.
Don’t you think it is absurd that the chances of someone commiting a crime is simply explained by them being from outside? Have you met these people personally?
